One of the things I did not like about SH3 was that we were forced to choose one of two extreme alternatives.

1. GPS god's eye view where everything is plotted accurately - unrealistic

2. Totally manual plotting where the player has to do everything - unrealistic (especially when you can't plot when paused)
You're quite right.

And i read somewhere (i think it was on uboat.net) that it was the duty of the 1st officer to perform surface night attact (under captain supervision of course), we can see it in Das Boot.

Would be cool if this could be reflected in the game with a certain level of uncertainty depending on the officer skill and experience.

So we could see crew doing lot of things like repairing all kind of stuff or carrying meat and bananas, or do the hoochie woochie.

Most of all I want them to call me "Herr Kaleun" rather than "Kapitän".

your answer is in your own post, "one on a sub can kill you realy fast"

its a more added realism thing and since flooding and leaks are there it feels like the rare occassional electrical fire should be as well even though making it work correctly isnt easy and probably why it wasnt done in the game as i mentioned in my other post

nope, but to do it right it would "have to" include increased co2 levels and smoke, poor visability along with systems damage so they probably didnt want to go down that road

I wouldn't mind the crew performing a bit of Cirque du Soleil to keep me entertained why travelling to/from the hunting ground.

Failing that, perhaps a bit of Richard Wagner, say Der fliegende Holländer or Die Walküre, just to suck up to Herr Hitler ("My dear Adolf, the crew really excelled with Act III last night, you would have loved it!").

Seriously though, I doubt I'll be looking at them more than once anyway. They could be standing there with their arms outstretched for all I care (wait, they already do that from time-to-time in SH3! The world is good).

Oh, one other thing, I want more casual interaction. I don't want to hear a formal "jawohl Herr Kaleun" everytime I issue an order.

Let us hope they ignore Brag and never end up performing the hoochie woochie

Would you prefer: Tun Sie es selbst Arschloch?

That's pretty causal

Glad to read I'm not the only one annoyed by that.

In the RPG game Oblivion there was a mod that made whatever NPCs were in the vacinity dance while music played. You could also create your own characters with their own dialog (with voice acting), temperament, etc.
